Abstract/
Summary |
Innovation is an established factor for competitive success and has been linked traditionally to product and process technology. Research has established clear links between an organisation's innovativeness and technology but reported research in, and links to, process innovation is relatively low. The ability of an organization to innovate in its business processes supported by technology such as PLM is examined in this paper. The literature shows strong links between technology and organizational innovation factors of culture, knowledge management and processes. This paper reviews the enablers for innovation in this context and how the use of PLM systems can influence these organizational innovation factors. |
